Reconstructing and Remodeling

Reconstruction of Your Home

To most, reconstruction can be easily confused with remodeling. The definition of reconstruction is, “the act or process of building something that was damaged or destroyed”. Basically, it means you are reconstructing your home to bring it back to its original state prior to damage. Reconstruction can also mean extending your home or adding an “addition”, which is all dependent on whom you ask. Remodeling refers more to a desire to improve or update your surrounding living quarters, either interior or exterior.

Damage by natural disasters, like snow storms, earthquakes or flooding, will leave your home needing reconstruction, from something like erecting or repairing an interior wall or thawing interior pipes to replacing your damaged carpet –and, as needed, demolition and disposal of hazardous materials. Either way, reconstruction is not for the “do-it-yourself-ers”, as it requires knowledge, organization and years of experience. Prior to major reconstruction projects, check with your city’s current building codes, as they may not have the same regulations now, as when the home was built. Reconstruction of your home may vary from room to room, can be time consuming, messy and could put you out of your home for a brief time.
